Blind Web Search Tool →
Interesting tool by way of TechCrunch on figuring out which search results you prefer most.
Alternate use is to see how your SEO tactics affect ranking across the three competitors side-by-side.
Will definitely be bookmarking this one.

New Dunkin' App →
Very smart use of web, mobile and downloadable application technology to drive average order size at Dunkin’ locations. Best feature is the printable order form to avoid the embarassing chicken scratch note or communication error with Dunkin’ team member.

iPhone WiFi[s] Next?
As expected earlier this week at the WWDC Apple introduced its next generation of iPhone known simply as the 3G[S] where the “s” stands for speed. While it did tackle some user requested features such as video, cut/copy/paste and voice search, it seemed to me that some of its best features such as tethering, where its connection to a cellular data can be shared with computer users,...
Celebrating 5 Years of "Official" Marriage
Today marks our official Massachusetts anniversary even tough we’re about to celebrate our 10th “dateversary” at the end of the month and our 9th wedding anniversary in September. Regardless I am happy we live in a state where this is possible and am saddened other states cannot get on-board or are on-board albeit for too short of a moment (boo on prop 8). It’s hard to...

What Google Selling eBooks means
It was a big day in Boston yesterday with the announcement of eInk being acquired by PVI, but I was more surprised by another feature about Google taking on Amazon with their own book-selling plan.
eInk’s technology has brought to life the use of the personal electronic book readers, creating users who are looking for content to fill their new devices. As I think about the traditional...

Newspaper Fail - Part 2
Great perspective article in Sunday’s Boston Globe Magazine on why the newspaper industry cannot fail based on the internet unable to replace specific use cases. Quite humorous “advantages” of the newspaper.
This is followed by an “informative” non-scientific study from The Today Show into the affects of taking away technology for 10 days from our teens. Cracking up...

The Final Countdown - Newspaper Fail?
Over the past few months, I have been listening to pundits, bloggers and journalists lament over the demise of the newspaper industry, making me wonder, are there any other avid readers out there like me who still like the print version?
While I will be the first to agree that newspapers didn’t use the online medium in a way conducive to grow readership (i.e., op-ed feedback loops), I find...
Future of Mobile Applications
At this month’s Mobile Monday event we reviewed opportunities in mobile applications or those handy dandy downloads for your iPhone, BlackBerry, G1, smartphones, etc. The iPhone has caused quite the proliferation of these paid and unpaid applications. Some I find are useful like bill splitters, tip calculators, levels, while others I get are more for entertainment value like iFart and Tap...

Making natural orange juice 50% less calories and...
So I have to admit, I’m a marketer’s ideal candidate when it comes to new food packaging at a grocery store. Anytime a new or updated product is on the shelf, I am happy to take a look. Add a coupon and I’m definitely a trial if the price is low enough.
The other day I came across a coupon for Tropicana’s latest addition Trop50. As described from their website:

Why I love the 1st Amendment - So Shut the F**k Up
I scored some tickets last night the Ann Coulter / Bill Maher debate held as part of the Citi Speaker Series at the Wang Theatre. While appearences by Ann Coulter generally create a rather visceral reaction on my part, usually leading to me gouging my eyes out and stabbing pencils in my ears, I was excited to see these two, politically polar opposites discuss the current state of political...
Bad Dog Habits
I cannot believe our new dog eats her own nails. Doesn’t she know its a disgusting habit of the weak.
Have never seen something like this. Anyone?

trying out tumblr
While I have blogged, tweeted and done countless other acts in social media for many a company, I have not started my own blog. Tumblr seems to be the right amount of commitment, short on text, able to post images, etc. Looking forward to trying it out.
